Bonds Underwear wants Australians to ‘Think of Fathers’ in new Father’s Day campaign

| | No Comments

Main2[2].jpgAustralia: Bonds has launched a new campaign for Father’s Day. This Father’s Day Bonds is asking Australia to recognise that it’s not just mums who have to make sacrifices when it comes to having kids, but that dads endure a lot too.

Swollen ankles, stretch marks, and cravings can be hard…. for men; dads’ bodies never recover from the impact of having children. A pre-baby body becomes a distant memory once kids arrive and guys are consigned to sporting a ‘Dad-bod’ for ever more.

But this Fathers Day, dads everywhere can feel more comfortable with their ‘Dad-bods’ in a comfy pair of Bonds undies. Elasticated waistbands, a comfortable fit will allow dads to relax, go with the flow and be at peace with their man boobs.

They aren’t perfect but they do a great job and we think they deserve a little moment in the spotlight as well as an upgrade of their undies drawer.”

In the lead up to Fathers Day, Bonds is launching an online film that highlights the plight of dads. The film will be complemented by a social campaign and in-store point of sale encouraging everyone to ‘Think of Fathers’ and buy their dad’s some comfy undies.

I’ve always had cravings, but the pregnancy and birth just legitimised them for me. There’s no going back now and I’m proud that I’ve been able to work with Bonds to celebrate all the real dads out there”
